Cravings

What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you? (James 4:1 HCSB)
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1 John 2:16 KJV)
Sin changed our desires from fellowship with God to self-satisfaction. This desire can be classified into three categories:
1. The lust of the flesh which is the craving for physical pleasure and our selfish desires;
2. The lust of the eyes is our craving for things that we see, those that please our eyes;
3. The pride of life is pride in our achievements, possessions, lifestyle, things that puffs us up.
